Chapter 66: Skeleton Warlord Armor Set
Xu Han stepped forward and picked up the greatsword, glancing at its stats.

[Quality: Gold]
[Strength +160]
[Constitution +50]
[Skill 1: Soul Reap (The Soul-Wrath Greatsword absorbs the enemy’s soul to deal damage and restore the wielder’s health; cooldown: 3 minutes)]

[Description: A blood-stained greatsword that strikes terror into the hearts of your foes]
[Equipment Requirement: Level 30]
Xu Han’s eyes lit up.
This seemingly battered sword turned out to be gold-quality!
It even came with a Skeleton Warlord skill—Furious Sweep.
A warrior’s divine skill, no less.
And it was part of the Skeleton Warlord set.
Though the set effect wasn’t dazzling, gathering all three pieces would boost all abilities by 10%—still quite impressive.
Xu Han turned his gaze to the ragged armor and bracers, anticipation shimmering in his eyes.
He guessed the stats of these two items wouldn’t be inferior.
He picked up the armor to check its properties.
[Soul-Wrath War Armor]
[Quality: Gold]
[Strength +100]
[Constitution +150]
[Skill 1: Soul Possession (Summon the vengeful souls within the armor to shield you from harm; the more souls summoned, the more damage they block. Souls disperse after one use; cooldown: 1 minute)]
[Skill 2: Nether Corrosion (Emits deathly aura, corrodes nearby enemies. Damage stacks up to three layers; aura lasts 10 seconds; cooldown: 5 minutes)]
[Skeleton Warlord Set (1/3): One piece enhances this equipment’s skills by 10%; two pieces enhance both skills by 10%; three pieces enhance all set skills by 10%]
[Description: Armor imbued with countless vengeful souls, the formidable defense of the Skeleton Warlord]
[Equipment Requirement: Level 30]
This armor, too, was a sacred artifact for warriors.
It could summon souls to absorb incoming damage—a lifesaver at critical moments.
And the deathly aura dealt considerable damage as well.
He then examined the final item, the bracers.
[Soul-Wrath Bracers]
[Quality: Gold]
[Strength +100]
[Constitution +50]
[Skill 1: Weakness Curse (Cast a curse on an enemy, weakening all their stats by 50% for 3 seconds; cooldown: 2 minutes)]
[Skill 2: Soul Devouring Hand (Absorb the soul of the weak, instantly killing them; cooldown: 4 minutes)]
[Skeleton Warlord Set (1/3): One piece enhances this equipment’s skills by 10%; two pieces enhance both skills by 10%; three pieces enhance all set skills by 10%]
[Description: Bracers imbued with countless vengeful souls, bearing the Skeleton Warlord’s curse]
[Equipment Requirement: Level 30]
Indeed, it was a three-piece set.
But the requirements were high—level 30 to equip.
Xu Han longed to use them, but by the time he reached level 30, he would surely obtain better gear.
This gold set would likely become obsolete.
After some thought, he decided to sell the Skeleton Warlord set.
It should fetch millions at least.
With that money, he could buy exotic beast meat or other necessities.
He stowed the three items in his spatial ring.
Then he turned to the corpse of the Skeleton Warlord.
He casually picked up the Skeleton Warlord’s bones.
Devour All activated.
The bones were consumed completely.
A system notification chimed.
“Host has devoured a Tier 2 Skeleton Warlord for the first time. Gain 100 Strength, 100 Constitution.”
Xu Han felt a surge of joy.
He opened his attribute panel.
[Name: Xu Han]
[Race: Human]
[Class: SSS Gourmet]
[Level: 21]
[Strength: 1362]
[Constitution: 1219]
[Agility: 640]
[Spirit: 339]
[Physical Resistance: 10%]
[Magic Resistance: 10%]
[Physical Penetration: 10%]
[Magic Penetration: 10%]
[Cooldown Reduction: 10%]
[Life Steal: 10%]
His level had risen to 21.
Each attribute had increased by 20 points.
It had doubled compared to before.
Xu Han was filled with anticipation.
If he continued to ascend, would each level grant even more attribute points?
The system prompt sounded again.
“Host has acquired the Skeleton Warlord’s skill: Undead Summoning.”
Xu Han’s heart leapt.
Another skill gained!
He opened the skill panel.
Sure enough, a new skill had appeared.
Undead Summoning LV.1: Summon a skeleton warrior. The warrior’s stats are 10% of the caster’s. Cooldown: 5 minutes.
This was one of the Skeleton Warlord’s signature abilities.
With a wave, dozens of skeleton warriors and skeleton mages could be called forth.
If not for his immunity to curses, he would have been crippled by the skeleton mages’ slowing spells.
Currently, he could summon only one skeleton warrior.
But it was enough.
Xu Han clapped his hands in satisfaction.
This trip had yielded tremendous rewards!
He rose to leave.
The group hiding in the woods grew anxious at the sight.
“Boss, he’s about to leave! We need to act now!”
“Yeah, if we don’t move, he’ll get away!”
“Judging by his expression, those items must be treasures.”
“And it’s not just the gear. Did you notice? He’s wearing what looks like a spatial item!”
“Exactly! I saw him put those pieces away right in front of me.”
“A spatial item like that would fetch at least ten million on the market! We’re about to strike it rich!”
The man with the spider tattoo nodded, a cold glint in his eyes. “Block his escape! I’ll attack from behind—make sure it’s a fatal blow!”
The group spread out, forming a fan-shaped encirclement around Xu Han, waiting for him to approach.
Xu Han walked a few steps, then abruptly stopped.
“All of you hiding in there, come out.”
The group was startled.
They exchanged uneasy glances.
“He actually spotted us,” muttered the dwarf.
“Let’s just do it!” the rooster-headed man gritted his teeth.
At his words, the group strode out of the woods, blocking Xu Han’s path.
The dwarf sneered, “You’ve got some skill, brother—slaying the Skeleton Warlord alone.”
“We’ve taken a fancy to the Skeleton Warlord and the items in your hand.”
“Hand them over yourself, and we won’t have to get violent and spoil the mood.”
“Ah!!”
Xu Han’s eyes narrowed.
He was about to speak when suddenly a piercing scream rang out.
The shriek was like a blade scraping across glass, sharp and agonizing.
He instinctively covered his ears, feeling as if his eardrums were about to burst.
